RE: Fake Tubes/Bad Seller?

As heiney9 mentioned some 7316's have long plates and D getters. The 7316's I currently have are the Ct0 version which is the 1st 7316 version Amperex made. They are long plates with D getters that have a foil strip.

Ishmael: Speaking as Seller (I've sold about 2000 LPs on ebay & Audiogon) my position is if your Seller misrepresented the tube as a 7316, either as he was unaware of what he was selling or if he intentionally misrepresented the tube, he should be willing to refund your purchase should your tube not be a legit 7316. And if the Seller is a tube-centric seller, ala old_guy_radiola, he should have the expertise and done his due diligence to know what he's selling and market tubes correctly.

Most Buyers would spend more for a 7316 than almost all 12AU7/ECC82 tubes. And thus, assuming your 7316 is not a 7316, would you have spent as much as you did if the tube was marketed correctly as a 12AU7/ECC82? If not, that should be on the Seller and justifies a refund should you want one.
